Chituyi, the two try hero in the 45-36 win over Zimbabwe on 30 June, missed last weekend’s 67-0 win over Tunisia through injury alongside former Kenya Sevens international Ayange who was recovering from the effects of root canal while Lilako also returns for the first time since the Zimbabwe match.

Commenting on their inclusion, Head Coach Ian Snook said, “Dallo is in as we have a 6 (forwards)/2 (backs) bench this game.”

“It has been crucial in a couple of other games with fresh forwards coming on late in the game and making a telling difference.

“We hope this will be the same. Felix is on the bench as he can cover many positions and is competent in them all.

Kenya and Namibia to meet in Rugby World Cup showdown

Namibia are four points ahead of Kenya with a superior points difference heading into the decisive match in Windhoek (KO 16:00 local time) and a bonus point will be enough to claim the Rugby Africa Gold Cup title and a place in Pool B at Japan 2019 alongside New Zealand, South Africa, Italy and the repechage winner.

The loser on Saturday will remain in Rugby World Cup 2019 contention, but will need to win November’s repechage in Marseille where they will meet Canada, Hong Kong and Germany.

In the weekend’s other match, Uganda defeated Morocco 47-29, but Kenya’s bonus point win win ended Ugandan hopes of a repechage place

Zimbabwe Sables call on re-inforcements from Cheetahs ahead of must win Namibia clash

Ahead of their match against the Namibia Welwitschias, the Zimbabwe Sables have made a few changes to the technical team and the training squad.

Desperate to keep their Rugby World Cup hopes alive Zimbabwe welcome Namibia to the newly renovated Hartsfield Grounds in Bulawayo on Saturday.

Zimbabwe has begun its 2018 Rugby Africa Gold Cup campaign on a lukewarm note with a draw and two consecutive losses away, leaving them in a precarious fourth place out of six teams.

The point hungry Sables have been in camp for a week with minor changes to the training squad which include the infusion of three Cheetahs, returning from Zimbabwe’s Rugby World Cup Sevens campaign in San Francisco.

Shayne Makombe and Tafadzwa Chitokwindo have been added to the backline whilst Connor Pritchard assumes his place as a flank.

Chitokwindo and Makombe were responsible for Zimbabwe’s first burst of tries in their opening match against Wales at the RWC Sevens.

Germany based lock, Antipas Kamkwindo will be joining the team, replacing Johannes Stander.

Peter de Villiers has been working with former Sables & Harare Sports Club Head Coach, Daniel Hondo.

In the lead up to their next fixture, the Sables coach Peter de Villiers has roped in Harare Sports Club (HSC) head coach Daniel Hondo as the backline coach.

Hondo, a former Sable & Cheetah in his time, said: “We’re not doubting the players that have been playing rather, it’s an opportunity for us to see what other players have to offer for our game on Saturday.

“Namibia remains unchallenged in the competition and we hope we will be the team that puts pressure on them.”

The HSC coach has successfully mentored his club into qualifying for the upcoming SARU Gold Cup.

On Sunday the team broke camp to allow players to travel to their respective polling stations ahead of Zimbabwe’s election
